Hi folks

These two days we frequently got “[Errno -1] repomd.xml does not match metalink for epel” (see more detail below) It happens very frequently, but not all the time.

Yum tried all epel mirrors but no one success.

In our environment, we automated install the software via yum from epel, but this error break our automation process, could you help take a look? thanks
